About this map

Velva sits at the heart of this North Dakota landscape, situated along the winding course of the Souris River. The town's grid is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as Central Ave, Truax Ave, and Prospect Ave, reflecting its role as a regional hub in McHenry County. The surrounding terrain is marked by the deep incision of Bonnes Coulee and the drainage of Oak Creek and Spring Creek.

Beyond the residential core, the map reveals a mix of agricultural utility and natural features, including Potters Lake to the east and the Linrud Airstrip to the north. Long-distance movement is facilitated by Hwy 23 and the Prospect Trl, while the western boundary follows the line between Ward and McHenry counties. This documentation provides a clear view of the town's relationship with the river valley and its connectivity to the surrounding prairie.
